'I am not really here...'

Nesting in between thick black hairs, observing the outside world through dark long vertical stripes that slash the views in front of my eyes.

After some wanderings in lovely other blogs, I came across Design For Mankind new beautiful mag issue that focuses this time on the theme Hair. A subject which seemed a bit peculiar at first, but then made my mind drift away down association and metaphor lane and made me draw these bits.
I found myself being confronted with this human corporeal decorative aspect which has been through metamorphosis and now holds a deeper meaning 'in its roots'.
Hiding behind what covers one's face, is one way to perceive its larger symbolic part in the distinction between adulthood and losing one's innocent and naive perspective on life in general and on self-growth in particular. I can't help myself from picturing the natural growth of the hair as a violent act of the body, which demands an early awareness and premature development.
Harsh words to describe such a wavy soft character like the Hair, but perhaps its legendary feel to it, conceals within its thick forest like appearance mysteriousness we haven't quite considered yet.

Have a lovely contemplative weekend you all...
